Ramana Maharshi Deep Sleep and Technique to Watch Dreams

Deep Sleep with out dreams is called Susphuti and it is considered very close to Samadhi State. Ramana Maharshi used to sleep very deeply in his childhood. Maharshi Sleep used to be so deep that it was difficult to wake him up.
In his childhood If Ramana Maharshi had some differences with his friends then his friends used to wait till Ramana Maharshi fall asleep and When Ramana Maharshi used to fall asleep then his friends used to come and beat him and next day when Ramana Maharshi used to wake up then he used to wonder why my body is Aching so much.

The few moments before we went enter to sleep or we come our from sleep are very important for meditation and these moments are period of transformation when some one can enter or slip into another dimension of consciousness.

e.g. If some one wants to witness his dreams then one has to be watchful of these few minutes which are between sleep and waking state. There is a flux state of few moments when we are neither in waking state nor sleep has come. These are the moments when we are changing gear from waking state to sleep state. If meditator is wakeful in these moments then one can witness the dreams and witnessing dreams means they disappear and one has dreamless sleep like Ramana Maharshi used to have in childhood.

In later years of Life Ramana Maharshi used to sleep for few hours only and used to wake up early in morning to help in the kitchen work. Ramana Maharshi always insisted on being treated like any other Ashram member and disliked any kind of special preferance given to him.
